Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Sauté shrimp for 3-4 minutes until pink and opaque, stirring frequently. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 4 cups riced cauliflower to the skillet along with 1 tsp lemon zest, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 5-6 minutes until cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
  4. Step 4: Return cooked shrimp to the skillet, drizzle with 2 tbsp lemon juice and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Stir gently to combine and heat through for 1 minute.
  5. Step 5: Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
